The Hour Between Dog and Wolf (The Hunter) "Gather around and listen my good people For I bring news of utmost dire Not for those with a stomach feeble Amass pitchfork and torch afire There is a soulless creature roaming the land A terrible beast of which little is known Feasting on the flesh of animal and man Leaving naught but gut and bone Unknown is its origin Elusive shadow, an enemy within?" (The Lover) This long and silent night Why did I invite this man at candlelight? Trapped between these walls when the evening falls Tired of the halls with their royal protocols (The Writer) "By then, rumors began to spread at court That people spoke of a demon, of witchcraft, and of a werewolf lord. His Highness, our God blessed king declared That the slayer of this monster would be gifted with royal award!" For the Love of Glory and Gold (The Hunter) "Order all the townspeople and peasants to obey their councils and punish those who disobey without good reason! Together we will defeat this beast!" (The Writer) A bliss to the eye this vanguard of wolf hunters Untouched by fear and eager for adventures For fame and glory and royal granted gold Before my eye unfolds a story never been told Chained behind bars, a prisoner's strife Unsettling wars, I didn't want this life (The Hunter) Today you are a witness of this horrible crime This girl devoured, her head split in two Tomorrow you yourselves may be a spectacle too So help me to prevent that unfortunate time It has tasted the blood of woman and child Nothing else it wants to stalk and kill Most of you have joined me out of free will Now let's beat the bushes of this land so wild (The Lover) I still see his eyes all blue These eyes made my fear all true I still see her eyes in tears When the light in my head disappears (The Lover) This long and silent night Why did I invite this man at candlelight? This Terrible Scourge (The Writer) A hunt the largest I have ever seen To scour the woods, the caves and the hills Led by the guidance of shepherd's routine Drawn to a tale that honor fulfills A story of heroes and heartbreak alike Some seek revenge in tactics so disputed But magic seems to consume the arms that strike Avoiding those who hunt it, surprising those who elude it (The Hunter) The weather and the constant demands placed upon my men Have begun to take a dangerous toll It leaves me with a feeling of desperation again Not quite the mission these people hoped to enroll "We are dealing with a witch, or the devil in person. If only I could believe it!" (The Writer) The people of these cursed lands began to murmur their frustration For the Hunter it meant his final degradation Reassigned after the arrival of a famous hunter from the north With royal sign came these words: "This man leads the hunts henceforth!" This man from the north brought dogs of monstrous size They tracked a wolf so large it's tracks were hand palm wide When finally shot everyone took a look of this famous prize Could this be lastly a comfort for a land so tried
